You claim to follow economics so please tell us a country where central planning and tight government control has brought the kind of prosperity that the USA has seen to this point. All I am looking for is the name of the country that is socialist or communist that has a higher standard of living than the USA. Maybe you feel you have a high standard of living..what with your two BMWs and excessive income ( as you boast about). What about all the American families that have to get by on less than $70K per year....or even $50K? I'm sure they don't feel their standard of living is all that great. Richard did not come from wealth from what I read. He worked hard, took chances and scored. Took a lot of years. I worked and paid my way through university. Took 10 years. I worked overtime, bought a business that my buddy and I ran that for years while still keeping our other jobs. I am comfortable, maybe not as comfortable as Eisboch, but he worked hard. You, on the other hand, were a 40 hour a week if that Crown Employee. Did not gamble a lot of your money and assets on running a business or growing a business. Did not work 60-80 hours a week working. My nephew, works a couple days a week, did not finish college, and complains of no money. No work ethic. A major problem in the poor in this country. Why work hard when society will give you the equivalent of about $18k a year, including medical. And you can work side jobs for cash. Why we have 4 and 5 generation welfare families. An about 60% high school drop out rate in areas of the country. Lots of families live on less than $50k a year. But they do not buy expensive cars, or even new economy cars. They live in 1100 ' sq houses, and not McMansions. They live within their means. Too many want the life style of the rich and famous without the work required. Some are there because of circumstances. A bad illness in the family, etc. But those are a minority. Most are there because of a bad work ethic. Even the lower IQ people hold a lot of decent paying jobs. They can not be an electrical engineer, but they can clerk at a department store, take money at the 7/11, etc. Why do we see so many immigrants running grocery stores, donut shops, nail salons, and other hard, time consuming business endevors. Because they have a work ethic. Plus they do not overspend. Live within their means. You leased a truck 3 years ago. Now bought a Rav4. How much a year has those vehicles cost you? I just bought a new Vensa for the wife. Nice car by the way. $38k sticker. Replacing a 1996 car with 145k miles. What is my cost of vehicles per year? Drinking again Kalif Swill?? I was replying to..and referring to *BAR* with my comments. And...you were wrong, dummy. |
